Product Features
Technical Overview
This power cord utilizes a NEMA 5-15P connector, which is the standard three-prong plug for North American 125V AC outlets, ensuring broad compatibility with wall sockets in homes and offices. The opposite end features an IEC 60320 C5 connector, commonly known as a "cloverleaf" or "Mickey Mouse" connector, which is widely used for powering laptops, monitors, and other compact electronic devices. The 18AWG gauge indicates a robust wire thickness suitable for handling the rated current without excessive voltage drop over the 10-foot length.
Electrical specifications include a maximum voltage of 125V AC and a current rating of 2.5A, translating to a power capacity of up to 312.5 watts under ideal conditions. This makes the cord suitable for powering most consumer and business laptops, which typically draw less than this threshold. The cord's construction meets safety standards for continuous use, with insulation designed to prevent overheating and ensure long-term reliability in typical computing environments.
